Decades after they were forced to leave Poland as children, Anton and Mirjam — two elderly British-Jewish people — travel back to their country of birth to confront what is left of their memories.

“Wallpaper” is a reflection on how the history of Poland’s Jewish heritage, and its destruction, continues to resonate as new generations process its legacy. It delves into the intergenerational transfer of memory and the way stories shape our identities. The project was a finalist in the Pears Short Film Fund, organized by UK Jewish Film, and the Emerging Filmmaker Contest, run by The Claims Conference in the US. The film had a ‘sneak peek’ preview at the UK Jewish Film Festival 2024.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with the creators:
